How would I loop through a directory of markdown files and properly display them?</p> <p>FWIW, I'm using a "classic style" Sinatra app here.</p> ruby sinatra Josh Pigford Sat, 08 Sep 2018 16:37:17 +0000 https://dev.to/shpigford/extensionspreferencessettings-to-clean-up-the-visual-studio-code-ui-1nhh https://dev.to/shpigford/extensionspreferencessettings-to-clean-up-the-visual-studio-code-ui-1nhh <p>I've recently switched from Sublime Text to Visual Studio Code and while it's a net-positive, I do tend to find myself overwhelmed by all the icons/button VSC shows. </p> <p>I'd much prefer to access necessary in-app tools with keyboard shortcuts versus always showing me all the things.</p> <p>So, what are some preferences/settings/extensions I should look in to for making the VSC UI less-overwhelming?</p> visualcodestudio sublimetext texteditor discuss
